Popping Up (2015)

The lines that divide conceptual and pop are becoming blurred. "Popping Up!" paints an insightful picture of the most popular art movements of the moment, proving that today's art is integrated into everyday life and can be experienced in many types of spaces outside of museums and galleries. Filmed in February and March of 2014 in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami, "Popping Up" showcases interviews and works from artists like Ron English, Kenny Scharf, Tara McPherson and Frank Kozik, among others, as well as gallery owners Jonathan LeVine and Matt Kennedy (La Luz de Jesus). The series portrays the revolution in art today through the movement which is building an alternative route to the elitist circuit of museums and galleries. Lowbrow art, toy art, pop surrealism are among the issues discussed with artists and curators.
